Keyboard closed???
What is your kernel installed?
If you have a kernel installed, it should boot into whatever the last OS was..

when you start your N900, do you see those ..... and nokia animation? or your phone does not reach till there? Am asuming that your battery life is NOT 0%

It shows the white screen with NOKIA on it, then it shows the empty multiboot menu. Battery isn't at 0%

Thats an NTDROID error ... Try pressing "1" to see if it boots on NTDROID

are you able to boot through any option? if so, install power kernel booting

apt-get update
apt-get install kernel-power-bootimg

or go to Hildon Application Manager install package: Linux Kernel for power user (boot image)

:( sorry mate.. seems the only option left is to Flash it ..

Follow Manual Flashing Method B from FP.

At step 11 type following code:
CODEflasher-3.5 -F R.bin --flash-only=kernel -f -R

This will only flash your kernel.
Reboot with your keyboard open & press 0.

Though i would suggest still wait to see if someone can help you out of this problem

All the Best !

Do you want to flash your kernel by PC, what is your operating System, If you have windows 7 then I can help you.

First connect your N900 to PC via USB, Install libusb from http://www.mediafire.com/?s01pwyzirxsa23o and extract it on your computer, then open its folder "bin" then you will see inf-wizard double click it program will run press Next then you will see list of USB ports then select N900 (PC-Suite Mode) press next again press next then give permission to install driver. after completion it will done. Now your USB mode will be ok.

My dad is somewhat professional when it comes to electronics, he said he can't do it with his solder kit, and he's not gonna spend money on it. I tried calling Nokia Care but they were closed for memorial day weekend.
